Leganes vs Atletico Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Atletico are currently leading the table but need to keep their winning momentum.

LaLiga leaders Atletico Madrid will go up against their city rivals Leganes CD in their 20th league game of the season. Atletico are flying higher than ever and have reached the top of the summit in the process with 44 points in 19 games. They have been flawless in the last couple of months and head into this fixture on the back of fifteen straight wins across all competitions. The Rojiblancos have shown determination and character to climb up their way to the top spot and should do everything in their power to maintain their momentum.

CD Leganes on the other hand have given an ordinary account of himself. They are nearing the relegation zone and are seeking revival big time. The Cucumbers have struggled to remain consistent and churn out positive results in their opening 19 games, but can still bounce back to avoid relegation. With 19 points from four wins, seven draws and eight defeats, Leganes are ranked 19th on the standings, just three points away from the relegation zone.
